Automatic Multi-Organ Segmentation in Thorax CT Images Using U-Net-GAN

Medical Imaging, 2019
We propose a method to automatically segment multiple organs at risk (OARs) from routinely-acquired thorax CT images using generative adversarial network (GAN). Multi-label U-Net was introduced in generator to enable end-to-end segmentation.
